This is completely off base.
There is a big difference between a Terrorist and a Rebel. A terrorist strikes out at people "in the name of their cause" and strikes out at innocent people. A rebel is someone who is more or less defending their homeland.
When Russia invaded Afghanistan is a good example. Russia invaded Afghanistan for reasons I can't understand. Rebels were supplied by the US to stop the Russians from taking over Afghanistan.
However, if Afghanistans flew a fucking airplane into buildings in Moscow, well, they become terrorists.
The US did support the rebels during Afghanistan, and we supported Bin Laden as well pretty much for the same reason. However, Bin Laden fucked us - hard and good.
